"Basically what Gnosticism says is that us--humans--and the creator God of the Bible, we're actually created by the same thing--this Mother Goddess--Mother Earth--who is kind of attacked by her offspring. God stakes claim as the creator of everything and promises an otherworldly salvation, denying the goodness of our own earth. The concept really spoke to us, and that's kind of what the song is about." --Lauren Mayberry (of CHVRCHES)
